As far as I'm concerned Nigel, the choices are just set up once and then that's it unless something unusual comes along. I think you tend to see the settings as something to apply to a shot, whereas I see them as ways to set up the camera to an individual's taste.

So, AF centre point focus, AA simulator off (in the menus two clicks to the right and two clicks up), centre weighted metering, all just the same as the K-5 models. The exciting bit will be in seeing the images.

The f/2 lenses are budget versions for lower priced bodies. Nonetheless, when "Photo Technique" tested the M f/2 lens they found it to be excellent. They can be when in proper alignment, but sadly many copies are not and they can also be quite poor.

All posts are requested to be Pentax related, or at least have some relevance to our speciality on this forum.

In the meantime, I agree totally with the conclusion PentaxForums reaches.

Vaards, you may have misunderstood what I was saying. The K-3 has no AA filter but it does have two strengths of AA Filter Simulator that will reduce or remove moire. So in the one camera you have a choice, with or without moire reduction as you wish.

I'm currently trying to get a repeatable moire effect to show the action of the simulator but I'm having a problem finding something that reliably produces moire.

I'm assuming the pictures are sharp, there's no reason why they shouldn't be. I've been a bit too busy these past few days to pull apart other people's pictures on the internet, and to be honest I've also been keeping my mind clear of other people's opinions on the K-3.

Today I'm free to look more closely at what everyone else is doing. I still think that the very best way to learn the limits of something is to look closely at our own images. Other people's we have no idea what they did, what the limitations were or even if they made a huge blunder as is being suggested in this thread.

The lack of AA filter isn't any sort of worry as there is the AA Filter Simulator.

Well time will tell I guess.

Whatever they do is almost guaranteed not to please, but in fact the images seem a reasonable selection to me. No doubt someone went out with the camera and lens provided and had a go to see what they could come up with.

You and I might have done exactly the same thing.
